Small steps of fuel conservation can make a big change
Answers
1. Shift to higher gears early
The Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA) says you should change gear at around 2000 to 2500 rpm. If you drive an automatic, allow the transmission to change up early by accelerating gently on a light throttle.
2. Start up and go
Don’t worry about warming up your car before leaving home in the morning. It warms up just fine when you drive it. The longer you spend warming your car, the more you’ll spend filling your tank.
3. Hill work
The EECA says you can save dollars by driving cleverly on hills, building up speed ahead of the hill using the highest possible gear, then easing off the gas once you’re near the top, allowing yourself to coast the rest of the way.
4. Don’t idle
If you know you’re going to be idling for a while, turning the engine off is a good idea. Experts differ on this point though. Some suggest turning off if you’re going to be idling for more than 10 seconds, others say 30 seconds, and still others a minute. In newer vehicles, high-tech stop-start technology means your car will do this automatically.
5. Go easy, but not too easy
If you’re too heavy on the accelerator, your car uses a richer fuel mix — but if you’re too light, you’ll spend more time accelerating than necessary.
Hope it helps you buddy..
God gifted us many things. He made the world and our planet Earth. On Earth, we human are undoubtedly dependent on various things. We’re also dependent to Fuel. Aren’t we? Yes we’re dependent. Fuel is a thing when heated produce energy.
We need various things for making ourselves good such as Food. For cooking food, we need fuel. So, Fuel is very important and its role is indispensable. For example: Food works like a fuel in human body. It gives energy to human body and helps in maintaining the growth and life of human and animals as well.
Fossil Fuels such as coal, petroleum, natural gas are mainly used in industries for various purposes. Electricity, the thing which we need daily as a source of energy is also produced by Fossil fuels. Rapid and Uncontrolled urbanization also has the demand of more Energy which is being produced by fuels. We can’t do much without fuels.
Combustion of fuels has a bad impact on our Environment and led to the pollution. Our environment includes birds, trees, water, air etc. We’re also willingly dependent on our Environment. Environment is clean than only we’ve fresh mind and healthy. Combustion of fossil fuels led the formation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. It harms our Environment. The air is mixed with greenhouse gases and we breathe. It effects on our lives and health. It may cause respiratory diseases such as asthma and pulmonary disorder. It may also harm to our ecosystem.
The ozone layer safeguards our earth. It defend us from the ultraviolet rays coming from the sun. The combustion of fuels produces greenhouse gases which led to the depleting of ozone layer faster. This affects the earth. We’ll suffer from it.
We need a peaceful environment and a better place to live. For making our environment safe we should not use vehicles much which need more fuel. Wow! It saves our money. Let’s make people aware of walking and using more and more bicycle not any fuel consuming vehicle. We should switch off engines while waiting for traffic light.
Let’s use more and more LED bulbs and computer monitors. Let’s use CNG engines. Let’s use solar boats while travelling though water bodies. Let’s use clean renewable fuels. Let’s make our lives peaceful by saving fuel. Let’s make our future peaceful and brighter.
